For die-hard data visualization nerds, there’s Swivel, which Between the Lines calls a YouTube for data and charts. And there’s an online community around it.

Are there really that many data lusters? Yeah, probably. But wait, there’s more. If you’re hardcore, there’s a Swivel graphing API and a graphs page.

I haven’t completely deciphered everything you can do with Swivel yet, but if you can in fact create graphs with it and then embed them on your web pages as content, it has great potential. However, I think it also means exposing your data, since there are links on existing graphs at the site that let you download the dataset. Anyone know? I’ll report back later. I’m signed up for the API, so when I have some time, I’ll try it out.
